Well, today was the day we pay up our pledges in Patreon and DS has still over 2200 patrons. He lost about... 20% of his patrons. Perhaps a bit more than that in money, but probably not more than 30% of his income.

The good news from this is... DS and his team would survive. Sure, it woudl be better if he could keep working on BB but I am glad he can work on Glamour at least.

That's something really positive that he can work on a game that he's a t least a bit passionate about. Even if I won't like it (I probably will) I find it much better than developing things he doesn't enjoy as much. Ofc life doesn't work that way but for DS it might.

Nothing to be happy about. It won't bring BB back and just harm development of Glamour. Moreover real number of patrons can be judged after Glamour is out for quite some time. Now it's just BB's effect combined with end of the month
im happy he cant keep making games. Congratz to him. Im not hating. I'd like to see continue BB at some point, but good luck to him.

Well, BB is a really hardcore game with many illegal and antisocial things. So there is nothing surprising in the fact that it was blocked. But still, I don't see a reason to stop the development. There are many ways to do this without Patreon and at the same time, whith continuing to make money. So, I think it's the matter of willing of DS.

At least, he could close all the remaining story lines and finish on it. It would take two or three updates.
would you go to work for 2-3 months for nothing? come on now dude! Go to your boss and say, dude im going to work for 3 months for free! let me know how you like it!

I read on the PATREON page of dark silver he has no choice to stop BB as far as the game was banned PATREON, I hope that dark silver will find another way to continue, see finish Big brother in any case he had done a great job

I'm more than sure that he will return to BB as soon as he can. A lot of time, resources and nerves was spent to this game, so i don't think that DS would simply abandon such project as BB.

All depends on how Glamour is received. If it's popular and patreons like it, he's more than likely going to keep working on that. If it tanks, BB will be back as soon as that happens.

Maybe. In our country there is saying "Why you need invent a wheel when there is already a bicycle".

Since it's been a month since last BB release, I have started looking for new update but now I hear patreon has banned BB? This is the game I have been looking forward to every single month for the past 6 months. Are there any additional news on this as his patreon doesn't really elaborate much. Is this it? no more updates? No 0.13 this time around?

I am upset now.

So patreon is new guidliness don't allow incest and 'hard to distinguish from non-consensual sex" historical situations i.e' Game of Thrones situational incest is okay? Also, Summertime Saga hasn't been hit and they have incest sraight up.

Incest is a social construct, there is no harm if everyone is protected. This is complete bull shit.

There's a difference between GOT and BB. Incest isn't the main part of GOT whereas the entire point of BB is to fuck your sister where you are the MC making decisions.

Summertime saga most likely wont get hit. He's making Patreon WAY too much money for them to do that.

Seems unfair, can't we do something about this that can benefit BB development in the future?

I don't understand their line of logic. Incest has been part of most if not all religions and have been part of history for a long time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with incest as long as no reproduction is involved with the exception of negative social stigma.

Also, isn't the entire point of games is to enjoy a fictitious setting to indulge your fantasy without harming anyone and this company is taking a stance to oppose that and to remove that? Wouldn't you want someone living out fictitious fantasy vs being curious and attempting something malicious in real life? This line of logic is backward.

The only conclusion left to draw is they want more investors with that to think their platform is morally 'safe.'
